BPC Nursery School

The BPC Nursery School, established more than 50 years ago, is located on the church campus. Although the Nursery School is connected to BPC, it is not a religious school, and children of any religion, race, or ethnic origin are accepted and admitted on a non-discriminatory basis. Prospective applicants do not have to be church members, but members are given priority in the admissions process.

The BPC Nursery School is open Monday through Friday, eleven months a year, and offers a morning and an afternoon program for children aged 2 years 9 months through 5 years. Children in the morning program can also enroll to stay until 3:00 p.m. on "Stay Days," which are offered Monday through Thursday.

The BPC Nursery School recognizes that for many children, nursery school is their first experience outside of the home, and so strives to create an atmosphere where  children experience warmth, love and stability. The curriculum is concerned with the whole child - his/her physical, emotional, social, cognitive and linguistic development during these formative early years. The primary goal of the school is to give each child an opportunity to develop a positive sense of self and comfortable, appropriate relationships with his/her peers and adults.

Parents interested in the Nursery School are encouraged to submit applications as early as possible. Children are enrolled in the following order of priority: 1st priority - church members; 2nd priority - siblings; and 3rd priority - date of application.

The BPC Nursery School also operates a Parent/Toddler Program for toddlers who are at least 18 months old and walking. Children attend once a week with a parent, and the program is offered Monday through Friday, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m., September through June and for six weeks over the summer.
